Ok, I get what is happening.

That is the email address the club used to send the emails as that is where our membership details are help.

The ticketing info is in the body of the email.

All set, then?

On Big Footy, Swans supporters already getting ahead of themselves…

“Melbourne should be more scared of us than we are of them”

“42 inches of snow cover at Mt Buller. I suspect they’ll be plenty of tickets available”.

”we will beat Melbourne guarantee it”

We need a “What are they saying at Moore Park” thread. Content from Big Footy as posted is already gold comedy.

 

I had it partly ready.  Was waiting for their 'official preview'

Shows how much they know!

There's 92 cm at Buller, which equates to 36 inches, not 42.

But 92 is still enough for a post GF celbratory Dees visit in late September.

Using tired old cliches just shows a lack of real sledging material by Swanees. And talking in imperial measures which went out in 1977 is weird also.

Funny but.

A lengthy but very good article about how historically the teams that have won the premiership from respective ladder positions at the end of the H&A season.

If you get to the end of the article you will like this:  "All of this bodes quite well for 2nd-placed Melbourne, doesn’t it?"  :cool:

Being too scared of jinxing the team to say it out loud, I'll write b-2-b in lower case and very small small print...

LOL!  They changed the article title after I copied it!  My link and yours go to the same article.  I guess the 'luck of a black cat' is more click bait worthy!

As minor premiers we had no problem finishing winning the flag last year but we were the exception to recent history.

Agree that 1st place probably doesn't earn rewards comensurate with being the best team over 22 H&A matches. 

However; 

Perhaps this balancesout the inequities of an unfair/imbalanced fixture?

 

I'd argue we also could have finished first with a fixture of the same difficulty as Geelong's. 


Oh my bad didn't realise it was the same one.

Indeed. 

And, there were some unique factors that might reinforce our win being an exception to the rule:

- We never played a home final as such.

-three of the preliminary finalist were vic based teams all having to play interstate

- covid, lockdowns etc; and the resulting impact on planning

But perhaps the three most significant factors were:

- in finishing top, we avoided a six day break and playing port on their home deck. Poor puddy cats had to play their home qualifying final at Adelaide oval against a home team!. Whereas, whilst our game was also at Adelaide oval, it was at least a neutral venue given we played the lions

- we had the opportunity to get to Perth and set up a base, and also nab tbe best facility. We also had one more week than the dogs out of iso.

- the bye before the grand final, which wasn't scheduled until after the finals commenced iirc, is a variable that is unique to 2021. Who knows what impact thst had

Yes yes but we are Melbourne remember, those stats don't apply to us.

Yeah, we cost them a QF against the Lions in Adel. Doubt they would have played it in Mordor in front of zero orcs or people from Geelong.

Can someone please explain to me how hamstring injuries work?

How does Jeremy Cameron only miss two weeks despite a confirmed strain and be available for the Pies final?

I thought players typically miss 21 days with a strain, no matter how light? You never really hear of a player missing 2 weeks with a hammy strain.

Oh well, it’s their risk to take. Could backfire and see him miss the rest of the finals.

I think the lack of the pre-finals bye was a key one. Straight into it after the high of Round 23. Less disruption after winning the QF.

It’s interesting..Ginivan with 7 positions in a half against Sydney  is subbed out with hamstring strain & is replaced by C. Brown who has 14 in a half …but Ginivan fronts up against Carlton the following week & is instrumental in the win against them. Funny things  these hamstring strains !!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
